I can pitch four or five hundred miles an hour.
I can pitch four or five hundred miles an hour.
Don’t be sour.
I imagine you could do the same.
What do you mean insane?
It really is quite simple.
Let go the limits.
See the world through a lizard’s eyes.
Surprise!
Go without those shackles.
Lay them aside.
That thought only serves to make you human.
Over the horizon the sun is loomin’.
That old crap is a tool for the
unwise, so powerful it keeps the
masses in line. But don’t be fooled,
for it is they their chains entangle.
Forgiveness of base imperfection leads to
personal insurrection-Wink!
Just walk away.
Ahead the new day.
A swing...
and a miss!
